GATE ASSEMBLY
SLAT INSTALLATION
Screw the bottom Receiving Rail Caps into the pre-
drilled Gate Receiving Rails using 8g x 11/5” (30mm)
countersunk screws.
Insert a Reinforced Slat and screw it in through the pre-drilled
holes using an 8g x 11/5” (30mm) countersunk screw in either
end (Figure 3.0). Insert Spacers into each Receiving Rail.
Insert a Plain Slat into the Receiving Rail and gently tap it
down to ensure a proper fit. Continue to insert Spacers and
Plain Slats until the next pre-drilled holes in the Receiving
Rails are reached (Figure 3.1).
Insert a Reinforced Slat and screw it in using two 8g x 11/5”
(30mm) countersunk screws in each end of the slat.
Continue inserting spacers and slats until the top of the
rail is reached.
Screw the Receiving Rail Caps into the top of the rails using
two 8g x 11/5” (30mm) countersunk screws.

GATE INSTALLATION
HINGE INSTALLATION
Measure and mark the required locations of the gate
hinges as per the hinge manufacturer’s instructions. Rail
Packers are used to provide a square mounting point on
the Gate Receiving Rail.
Position the hinges on the Rail Packer and mark the locations
of the holes. Pre-drill the Rail Packers using a 1/4” (6mm)
drill bit (Figure 4.0). Screw the hinges into position through
the Rail Packer into the Gate Receiving Rail using 12g x 11/2”
(39mm) hex head screws.
Measure and mark the position of the top gate hinge on
the post to ensure the gate is level and square. Pre-drill the
top screw hole into the post. Lift the gate into position and
screw through the top hinge and attach the gate to the post.
Screw the bottom hinge into position and ensure the gate is
level before screwing off all other hinges.
LATCH INSTALLATION
Measure and mark the required locations of the gate latch
as per the latch manufacturer’s instructions, using the Rail
Packer on the Gate Receiving Rail as a square mounting
surface (Figure 4.0). Pre-drill the holes for the latch with
a 1/4” (6mm) drill bit using the latch as a template. Secure
the latch and Rail Packer to the gate frame with 12g x 11/2”
(39mm) hex head self drilling screws through both the
latch and the Rail Packer.
